While I was really hoping LSU would wind up in the Rose Bowl, this game actually seems to be very good. Both teams losses have come to top teams (LSU lost to Auburn and Florida) (Notre Dame lost to USC and Michigan).

Both feature premier QB's, both have questionable running games, both have pretty good receivers, but I think LSU's defense is better than Notre Dame's.

It all comes down to LSU's D vs ND's O. LSU will only score about 20 points. They screw up to much. So, can they keep ND under 20? LSU should win. But everyone said that before they played Auburn and Florida.

This game is the perfect launching pad for JaMarcus Russell, going against this atrocious Notre Dame secondary.

LSU has the talent to make this perhaps the most boring BCS Bowl save the National Championship. They can wear down the Notre Dame front seven with their running back by committee approach or torch them vertically. Defensively, they should limit the damage Quinn is able to do, although I'm sure he will lay it all on the line to win one before he leaves South Bend.
